Buckley Air Force Base occupies a significant portion of the western landscape in this 2016 survey, representing a key military anchor near the boundary of Adams Co and Arapahoe Co. The residential expansion of Aurora is evident through the dense network of streets and named avenues like E Colfax Ave and E Hampden Ave. Intersecting this modern development is an intricate drainage system including Coal Creek, Murphy Cr, and First Cr, which carve through the terrain and influence the layout of newer neighborhoods like Aetna Estates. Local history is captured in the location of the Saint Simeon Catholic Cem and the small Simons Airport, providing a detailed view of the infrastructure and land use in this suburban-military corridor during the mid-2010s.
